1.1 Background of the Study

Good health is a priceless asset that is easy to take for granted; students in middle school are faced with many changes that affect many aspects of their lives. During this time, students are desperate to find a place to belong and often make choices that negatively affect academic achievement and their ability to experience optimum health has been the focus of attention people are looking to improve their by regular exercise and changes in life style. Health as agree is wealth is always awareness that economic and individual growth is not easily achieved without good health. Health habit was created to provide a holistic approach to natural healing and usual the state of health one maintains. Overall health comes from recognizing the flaws, the mistakes and life changing decision that are easy to adapted to but not painfully difficult and seemingly impossible. The poor health habit among school students in some selected secondary schools in Oredo local government area in Edo State has become the concern for this study, to inculcate the importance of health habits at a very delicate the importance of health habits at a very stage or development., in life among the students needs an effort to achieve it. Life style are decisions taken by individuals about their health habits and behaviours which affects one’s health and has little or no control, we cope by fulfilling our basic human health in different healthy and unhealthy ways, sometimes coping and adapting to it, is destructive and hazardous our well-being, because we create and adapt to habits as a way of coping with emotional stress of living. Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol etc. in general, personal decisions and habit that are bad, from a health point of view create self imposed risks. Despite the overwhelming concerns. Schools across the nations are still wondering what the best options are for their students. Despite the issues wellness of the students has not improved, in fact according to the institute of medicine the rate of obesity and overweight has increased among the students. Campaigns for school wellness have been set up to develop life long behaviours of good nutrition and physical activity. Health science should be establish in various schools so as to be able to inculcate in this students about their health habits particularly students in rural areas and the under privileged because most of this students lack this health facilities either at the school or from the homes. Due to family income, low level of education of the parents and unfavorable areas, in addition teaching of health education should begin at home as soon as the child is able to handle, recognize and identify things and also being able to make use of his/her sense organs in terms of personal cleanliness to ensure that the normal body does not suffer, cleanliness of the body enhances the health of the students through the reduction of germs infesting the human body. Health education can being with anything and had ports on almost everything that has to do with man’s activities such as cleaning, playing, sweeping, brushing, dusting, tiding up washing of everything’s you can think of so far these reasons, public lectures on health education should be given occasionally and especially to students as regards to the causes and effect of poor health habit. This will uplift the level of well being, prolong human health improve individual quality. Educators have a direct impact on many of these areas and it is important to have a well-developed understanding of the contributing factors so appreciate decisions about interventions can be made especially if they affect parental involvement, it is important to note that contributing factors to the health of the students is not limited to in school only. Nutrition at home and parental involvement at home are important factors. Families that are capable of having at least one parent stay at home will have a different impact than if both parents have to work for survival. This study will identify factors that affect the health of the students in order to understand the issue and to help identify possible opportunities to improve the health of our students. There is no gain saying the fact that health living in any nations help to reduce the countries death rate. Health is something we must practice, always, if we want to live an active and happy.
